I recently picked up the newest issue of Renaissance Magazine and found an article about the Renaissance Festival Awards. Until now, I was not familiar with them, but after reading through the list and seeing several familiar names, I wanted to share.
The awards are in their 5th year, and feature almost as many categories as the Oscars. Some names that caught my interest:
Best Musical Act: 1st - Empty Hats (the Rogues came in 5th)
Best Musical Solo: 1st - Owain Phyfe (Cast in Bronze of Pitt Ren came in 4th)
Best Non-Musical Act: 1st - Barely Balanced, formerly Bardic Wind; 2nd - Tortuga Twins
Best Non-Musical Solo: 3rd - Ded Bob
Best Comedy/Musical Act: 2nd - Tartan Terrors
Best Children's Act: 3rd - Fool Hearty
Check out the complete list here: renaissancefestivalmusic.com/category/ren_fest_awards/
The other reason I wanted to post this was that they have several categories that GLMF is more than qualified for, such as Best Festival, Best Street Cast, Best Opening Gate and Best Closing Gate.
There are also categories this site could compete for: Best Web Community & Best Photography!
I know it's too late to have any effect on 2009's awards, but I figured if I got this out there now, we're more likely to remember in time to do something about 2010's!
